F. Doherty與M.F. Mal_， Conceptual Design of Distillation Systems, McGraw-Hill(New York)，2001，185_186, 351_359)。恆沸組成物其 特徵係為共沸，這是因為其於常壓下相對於該純組分沸點 其表現出該混合物之沸點最大值或最小值，意即，於已知 壓力下s亥組成物沸點圖中根據該組成物之該等組分莫耳分 率函數可找到一沸點最大值或最小值.共沸組成物其特徵 亦為於常溫下相對於該等組分之蒸氣壓力其表現出該混合 物蒸氣壓力之最大值或最小值，意即，於已知壓力下該組 成物蒸氣壓力圖中根據該組成物之該等組分莫耳分率函數 可找到一最大值或最小值之蒸氣壓力。 因此，一種共沸組成物之該基本特徵係為於已知壓力 下’該液態組成物之該彿點係為固定，以及高於海騰組成 之蒸氣組成基本上係為全部該沸騰液態組成物之蒸氣組成 (意即，該液態組成物該等組分分率不存在）。同時已知技 術中亦可確知，當該共沸組成物處於不同壓力下時兮弗 149377.doc 201114883 點與該共沸組成物每一組分之重量百分比二者可能會發生 改釔所以，—種共沸組成物之定義可藉由該等組分間之 獨特關連衫’練據組分組成冑s或根據該組成物決 疋，或根據該組成物每一組分之確切重量百分比決定且其 特徵為於特壓力下具有固定沸點。 為達成本發明之目的，一種似共沸組成物係表示一種組 成物其行為近似一種共沸組成物（意即，具有怪沸特性或 一傾向於沸騰或蒸發時不發生分餾）。因此，於沸騰或蒸 發時，該氣態與液態組成物，若產生任何變化，該變化程 度極微小甚至小到可忽視之。其與非—似共沸組成物相較 下，於其沸騰或蒸發時，該氣態與液態組成物會產生一實 質程度之變化。 一種似共沸組成物其特徵亦可為於已知壓力下該組成物 沸點圖中其沸點最大值或最小值之鄰近區域係為該組成物 之一組分莫耳分率函數。是故，一種似共沸組成物之另一 特性係為組成物之包含範圍含有個別組分比例相異，而於 已知壓力下該組成物沸點係為實質不改變的。 一種似共沸組成物其特徵為亦可為於已知溫度下該組成 物沸點圖中其蒸氣壓力最大值或最小值之鄰近區域係為該 組成物之一組分莫耳分率函數。是故，一種似共沸組成物 之另一特性係為係為組成物之包含範圍含有個別組分比例 相異，而於已知溫度下該組成物蒸氣壓力係為實質不改變 的。 另者，似共沸組成物所表現露點壓力與起泡點壓力幾乎 149377.doc 201114883 沒有壓力差。這表示已知溫度下該露點壓力露點與起泡點 壓力之差別很微小。 實驗研究中已發現Z-FO-1336mzz、反式-1,2-二氯乙烯與 環戊烷可形成三元共沸或似共沸組成物。該共沸組成物其

[Embodiment] In many applications, there is a need to use a pure single component or an azeotrope or azeotrope-like mixture. For example, when a composition (also known as a balloon expansion) Agent or foam expansion composition) is not a pure single component or an azeotrope or azeotrope-like The composition may be applied to the foam forming process. This composition change may have a negative or bad effect on the processing. At the same time, in refrigeration applications, the operation is in the shaft 149377.doc -5 - 201114883 The leakage of the soft s connection, the welded joint and the broken wire often leads to the loss of the refrigerant. In addition, the refrigerant of the refrigerating device may be leaked to the atmosphere in the maintenance procedure, and the right chiller is not a pure single component or an azeotrope or The refrigerant composition may change when the azeotrope is leaked or discharged to the atmosphere by the refrigeration equipment. The change in the composition of the refrigerant may cause the refrigerant to deteriorate into flammable or refrigerating performance. Due to &, there is a need in the industry to use azeotropic or azeotrope-like mixtures with other applications such as Zl,l,l,4,4,4-hexafluoro, 2_butyl (z_CF3CH=CHCF3, zf〇) I336 azeotrope or azeotrope-like mixture of cis, cis-FO-133 6mZz).

In addition, unless expressly stated to the contrary, "or" refers to an inclusive "or" rather than an exclusive "or". For example, any of the following conditions satisfies Condition 8 or B: Eight is true (or existing) and B is false (or non-existent), Eight is false (or non-existent) and B is true ( Or existing), and eight and six are true (or exist). 149377.doc 201114883 Similarly, use "-" or "one" to describe the elements and groups of tools described in this article. This is done for convenience only and provides a general sense of the scope of the invention. This description is to be understood as inclusive, and the singular All technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs, unless otherwise defined. Although methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of embodiments of the present invention, suitable methods and materials are described below. All publications, patent applications, patents, and other references mentioned herein are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety in their entirety. In the event of a conflict, the present specification shall prevail, including definitions. In addition, the materials, methods, and examples are merely illustrative of the nature of the invention. Z-FO-1336mzz is a known compound, and a method for its preparation is also disclosed, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 2008/0269532, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. This patent application includes a binary or a common mixture in May; the main components of the composition are (a) Z-FO-1336mzz, (b) trans-1,2-dichloroethylene and (4) a third group. And wherein the trans-1,2-dichloroethylene and a third component are present in an effective amount to form a conjugate or a mixture of Z-FO-13 3 6mzz. The composition in the examples includes the third component being cyclopentene, decyl alcohol, dimethoxymethane, methyl formate or perfluoroethyl isopropyl ketone. An effective amount means that when combined with Z-FO-1336mzz, the result is a mixture of a total or a mixture of Buddhas. The definition includes the amount of each component, only 149377.doc 201114883 The azeotrope or azeotrope-like composition is continuously present at the different pressures depending on the pressure of the composition, however it is also possible Have different boiling points. Thus, in addition to those described herein, a composition of the invention for forming an azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition, each component of which is at a temperature or pressure, includes an amount effective to include, for example, by weight or The percentage of the ear is expressed. It is known in the art that an azeotrope composition is a blend of two or more different components which are liquid at a known pressure and boil at a substantially normal temperature and provide substantially the same as the boiling overall A gaseous composition of a liquid composition. (See, for example, M. F. Doherty and M. F. Mal_, Conceptual Design of Distillation Systems, McGraw-Hill (New York), 2001, 185_186, 351-359). The azeotrope composition is characterized by azeotropy because it exhibits a maximum or minimum boiling point of the mixture relative to the boiling point of the pure component at atmospheric pressure, that is, at a known pressure. In the boiling point diagram of the composition, a boiling point maximum or minimum value can be found according to the component molar fraction function of the composition. The azeotropic composition is also characterized by its vapor pressure relative to the vapor pressure of the components at normal temperature. The maximum or minimum value of the vapor pressure of the mixture, that is, a maximum or minimum value can be found in the vapor pressure map of the composition at a known pressure according to the component molar fraction function of the composition. Vapor pressure. Therefore, the basic characteristic of an azeotropic composition is that the point of the liquid composition is fixed at a known pressure, and the vapor composition higher than the composition of the sea is substantially all of the boiling liquid composition. The vapor composition (ie, the liquid composition does not have the component fraction). At the same time, it is also known in the prior art that when the azeotrope composition is under different pressures, both the weight of the 149377.doc 201114883 point and the weight percentage of each component of the azeotrope composition may be changed. The definition of the azeotrope composition can be determined by the composition of the unique binding shirt between the components, or by the composition, or according to the exact weight percentage of each component of the composition and It is characterized by a fixed boiling point under specific pressure. For the purposes of the present invention, an azeotrope-like composition means that a composition behaves like an azeotrope (i.e., has a boiling character or does not undergo fractionation when boiling or evaporating). Therefore, if any changes are made to the gaseous and liquid compositions during boiling or evaporation, the degree of change is extremely small or even negligible. Compared to the non-azeotropic composition, the gaseous and liquid compositions undergo a substantial degree of change as they boil or evaporate. An azeotrope-like composition may also be characterized by the proximity of the boiling point maximum or minimum in the boiling point diagram of the composition at a known pressure as a function of the component molar fraction of the composition. Therefore, another characteristic of an azeotrope-like composition is that the composition range of the composition contains individual components in a different ratio, and the boiling point of the composition is substantially unchanged at a known pressure. An azeotrope-like composition is characterized in that the adjacent region of the vapor pressure maximum or minimum value in the boiling point diagram of the composition at a known temperature is a function of the component molar fraction of the composition. Therefore, another characteristic of an azeotrope-like composition is that the composition of the composition contains the proportions of the individual components which differ, and the vapor pressure of the composition does not substantially change at a known temperature. In addition, the dew point pressure and bubble point pressure exhibited by the azeotrope-like composition are almost 149377.doc 201114883 There is no pressure difference. This means that the difference between the dew point pressure dew point and the bubble point pressure at a known temperature is very small.
